This proxy statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K are available electronically at www.proxydocs.com/AIRG.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING

Why did you send me this proxy statement?

We sent you this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card because our board of directors is soliciting your proxy to vote at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders. This proxy statement summarizes information related to your vote at the annual meeting. All stockholders who find it convenient to do so are cordially invited to attend the annual meeting in person. However, you do not need to attend the meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may simply complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy card, or complete and submit your proxy via phone or the internet in accordance with the instructions provided on the enclosed proxy card.

We intend to begin mailing this proxy statement, the attached notice of annual meeting and the enclosed proxy card on or about May 14, 2018 to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the annual meeting. Only stockholders who owned our common stock on April 24, 2018 are entitled to vote at the annual meeting. On this record date, there were 9,442,794 shares of our common stock outstanding. Common stock is our only class of stock entitled to vote.

What am I voting on?

There are two proposals scheduled for a vote:

Proposal 1: To elect two directors to serve as Class II directors for a three-year term.

Proposal 2: To consider and vote upon the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2018.

How many votes do I have?

Each share of our common stock that you own as of April 24, 2018 entitles you to one vote.

Table of Contents

How do I vote by proxy?

With respect to the election of directors, you may either vote “For” all of the nominees to the board of directors or you may “Withhold” your vote for any nominee you specify. With respect to the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, you may vote “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” from voting.

Stockholders of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If you are a stockholder of record, there are several ways for you to vote your shares. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure that your vote is counted.

Beneficial Owners: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank

If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you should have received a proxy card and voting instructions with these proxy materials from that organization rather than directly from us. Generally, you have three options for returning your proxy.

Table of Contents

May I revoke my proxy?

If you give us your proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised. You may revoke your proxy in any one of the three following ways:

What constitutes a quorum?

The presence at the annual meeting, in person or by proxy, of holders representing a majority of our outstanding common stock as of April 24, 2018, or approximately 4,721,397 shares, constitutes a quorum at the meeting, permitting us to conduct our business.

What vote is required to approve each proposal?

Proposal 1: Election of Directors. The two nominees who receive the most “For” votes (among votes properly cast in person or by proxy) will be elected. Only votes “For” or “Withhold” will affect the outcome.

Proposal 2: Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP must receive “For” votes from the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively on the proposal. Only votes “For” or “Against” will affect the outcome.

Voting results will be tabulated and certified by the inspector of election appointed for the annual meeting.

What is the effect of withheld votes, abstentions and broker non-votes?

Shares of common stock held by persons attending the annual meeting but not voting, and shares represented by proxies that reflect withheld votes or abstentions as to a particular proposal, will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. Abstentions are not an affirmative or negative vote on a proposal, so abstaining does not count as a vote cast and has no effect for purposes of determining whether our stockholders have ratified the appointment of KPMG LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm. The election of directors is determined by a plurality of votes cast, so a “Withhold” vote will not be counted in determining the outcome of such proposal.

Shares represented by proxies that reflect a “broker non-vote” will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum exists. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner has not received instructions from the beneficial owner and does not have discretionary authority to vote the shares for certain non-routine matters. With regard to the election of directors, broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote. However, ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP is considered a routine matter on which a broker or other nominee has discretionary authority to vote. Accordingly, no broker non-votes will likely result from this proposal.

Who is paying the costs of soliciting these proxies?

We will pay all of the costs of soliciting these proxies. Our directors, officers and other employees may solicit proxies in person or by mail, telephone, fax or email. We will not pay our directors, officers and other employees any additional compensation for these services. We will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward these proxy materials to their principals and to obtain authority to execute proxies. We will then reimburse them for their expenses. Our costs for forwarding proxy materials will not be significant.

How do I obtain an Annual Report on Form 10-K?

If you would like a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 15, 2018, we will send you one without charge. Please write to:

Attn: Corporate Secretary

All of our SEC filings are also available free of charge in the “Investors—SEC Filings” section of our website at www.airgain.com.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the annual meeting?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the annual meeting. Final voting results will be published in our current report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC within four business days after the annual meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Form 8-K within four business days after the meeting, we intend to file a Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and, within four business days after the final results are known to us, file an additional Form 8-K to publish the final results.

PROPOSAL 1:

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our board of directors is divided into three classes, with one class of our directors standing for election each year, generally for a three-year term. Directors for each class are elected at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the year in which the term for their class expires and hold office until the third annual meeting following election and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. On January 31, 2018, Francis X. Egan resigned from our board of directors. As a result of Mr. Egan’s resignation, our board of directors consisted of two Class I directors, one Class II director and three Class III directors. As our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that each class of directors shall consist, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting the entire board of directors, the board of directors determined that Joan Gillman be moved to Class II. Ms. Gillman was formerly a Class III director with a term expiring at our 2019 annual meeting of stockholders. On May 2, 2018, Charles Myers resigned as our President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of our board of directors. Mr. Myers was a Class I director. Following Mr. Myers’ resignation, effective as of May 8, 2018, pursuant to our amended and restated bylaws, our board of directors reduced the size of the board from seven to five directors. As detailed in the section below, our current composition of our board of directors is as follows: Class I consists of James K. Sims; Class II consists of Joan Gillman and Arthur M. Toscanini; and Class III consists of Frances Kordyback and Thomas A. Munro.

At this meeting, two nominees for director are to be elected as Class II directors for a three-year term expiring at our 2021 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The nominees, who were recommended for nomination by the nominating and corporate governance committee of our board of directors, are Joan Gillman and Arthur M. Toscanini. The Class I director has two years remaining on his term of office and the Class III directors have one year remaining on their terms of office.

If no contrary indication is made, proxies in the accompanying form are to be voted for Ms. Gillman and Mr. Toscanini, or in the event that Ms. Gillman or Mr. Toscanini is not a candidate or is unable to serve as a director at the time of the election (which is not currently expected), for any nominee who is designated by our board of directors to fill the vacancy. Each of Ms. Gillman and Mr. Toscanini is currently a member of our board of directors.

All of our directors bring to the board of directors significant leadership experience derived from their professional experience and service as executives or board members of other corporations and/or private equity and venture capital firms. The process undertaken by the nominating and corporate governance committee in recommending qualified director candidates is described below under “Director Nomination Process.” Certain individual qualifications and skills of our directors that contribute to the board of directors’ effectiveness as a whole are described in the following paragraphs.

Information Regarding Directors

The information set forth below as to the directors and nominees for director has been furnished to us by the directors and nominees for director:

2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (Class III)

Frances Kordyback has served on our board of directors since November 2005. Ms. Kordyback is a Commissioner with the Ontario Securities Commission, a position she has held since November 2016.

Ms. Kordyback holds a Bachelor of Mathematics from the University of Waterloo. Ms. Kordyback’s experience as a venture capitalist investing in the technology industry and her governance and regulatory experience contributed to our board of directors’ conclusion that she should serve as a director of our company.

Thomas A. Munro has served on our board of directors since 2004. Mr. Munro is the Chief Executive Officer of Verimatrix, Inc., an Internet security technology company, a position he has held since April 2005. Prior to Verimatrix, Mr. Munro was the President of Wireless Facilities from 2001 to 2003 and Chief Financial Officer from 1997 to 2001.

Mr. Munro’s extensive knowledge of our business and history and experience in the wireless technology industry contributed to our board of directors’ conclusion that he should serve as a director of our company.

Board Independence

Our board of directors has determined that all our directors are independent directors within the meaning of the applicable Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or Nasdaq, listing standards, except for James K. Sims, who is no longer an independent director effective as of his appointment as our interim Chief Executive Officer. Following the appointment of a permanent Chief Executive Officer, we expect that all of our current members of the board of directors will be independent.

Board Leadership Structure

Our board of directors is currently led by its chairman, James K. Sims. Our board of directors recognizes that it is important to determine an optimal board leadership structure to ensure the independent oversight of management as the company continues to grow.

Prior to the resignation of Charles Myers as our Chief Executive Officer and as a member of our board of directors, we separated the roles of chief executive officer and chairman of the board of directors in recognition of the differences between the two roles. In connection with Mr. Myers’ resignation, Mr. Sims was appointed as our interim Chief Executive Officer and continues to serve as the chairman of our board of directors. Although these changes resulted in us combining the roles of chairman and chief executive officer, our board of directors determined that this leadership structure is optimal because it provides our company with the ability to maintain experience and leadership through this transaction period. Our board of directors believes that it is appropriate for Mr. Sims to continue in his role as chairman of the board of directors until we find a permanent Chief Executive Officer. In the event the board of directors appoints a permanent Chief Executive Officer to replace Mr. Sims in that role, the board of directors will reassess these roles and the board leadership structure. No independent director serves as the lead independent director. We believe that each of our independent directors brings valuable experience, oversight and expertise from outside our Company.

Table of Contents

Our board of directors has concluded that our current leadership structure is appropriate at this time. However, our board of directors will continue to periodically review our leadership structure and may make such changes in the future as it deems appropriate.

Role of Board in Risk Oversight Process

Our board of directors has responsibility for the oversight of the company’s risk management processes and, either as a whole or through its committees, regularly discusses with management our major risk exposures, their potential impact on our business and the steps we take to manage them. The risk oversight process includes receiving regular reports from board committees and members of senior management to enable our board of directors to understand the company’s risk identification, risk management and risk mitigation strategies with respect to areas of potential material risk, including operations, finance, legal, regulatory, strategic and reputational risk.

The audit committee reviews information regarding liquidity and operations, and oversees our management of financial risks. Periodically, the audit committee reviews our policies with respect to risk assessment, risk management, loss prevention and regulatory compliance. Oversight by the audit committee includes direct communication with our external auditors, and discussions with management regarding significant risk exposures and the actions management has taken to limit, monitor or control such exposures. The compensation committee is responsible for assessing whether any of our compensation policies or programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire board of directors is regularly informed through committee reports about such risks. Matters of significant strategic risk are considered by our board of directors as a whole.

Board of Directors Meetings

During fiscal year 2017, our board of directors met five times, including telephonic meetings. In that year, each director attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings held during such director’s term of service by the board of directors and each committee of the board of directors on which such director served.

Board Committees

Our board of directors has established three standing committees—audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance – each of which operates under a charter that has been approved by our board of directors.

Audit Committee

The audit committee’s main function is to oversee our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of our financial statements. This committee’s responsibilities include, among other things:

8

Table of Contents

The members of our audit committee are Ms. Gillman, Ms. Kordyback and Mr. Toscanini. Mr. Toscanini serves as the chairperson of the committee. The audit committee met six times during fiscal year 2017. Mr. Munro served as a member of the committee until April 2017, at which time Ms. Kordyback joined the committee. Our board of directors has determined that all of the members of the audit committee are independent directors under the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq and by Rule 10A-3 of Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and our board of directors previously determined that Mr. Munro was an independent director under such qualification standards during his term of service on the audit committee. In addition, all members of our audit committee meet the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Toscanini is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by applicable SEC rules and has the requisite financial sophistication as defined under the applicable Nasdaq rules and regulations. The audit committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable standards of the SEC and Nasdaq.

Both our external auditor and internal financial personnel meet privately with the audit committee and have unrestricted access to this committee.    

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee approves, or recommends to our board of directors, policies relating to compensation and benefits of our officers and employees. The compensation committee approves, or recommends to our board of directors, corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers, evaluates the performance of these officers in light of those goals and objectives and approves, or recommends to our board of directors, the compensation of these officers based on such evaluations. The compensation committee also approves, or recommends to our board of directors, the issuance of stock options and other awards under our equity plan. The compensation committee will review and evaluate, at least annually, the performance of the compensation committee and its members, including compliance by the compensation committee with its charter.

The members of our compensation committee are Mr. Munro and Mr. Toscanini. Mr. Munro serves as the chairperson of the committee. The compensation committee met once during fiscal year 2017. Ms. Gillman served as a member of the committee through April 2017, at which time Mr. Egan joined the committee. Mr. Egan served as a member of the committee until his resignation in January 2018. Mr. Sims served as a member of the committee until he assumed the role of interim Chief Executive Officer on May 2, 2018. Our board of directors has determined that all of the members of the compensation committee are independent under the applicable rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Capital Market relating to compensation committee independence. The compensation committee operates under a written charter, which the compensation committee will review and evaluate at least annually.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for assisting our board of directors in discharging the board’s responsibilities regarding the identification of qualified candidates to become board members, the selection of nominees for election as directors at our annual meetings of stockholders (or special meetings of stockholders at which directors are to be elected), and the selection of candidates to fill any vacancies on our board of directors and any committees thereof. In addition, the nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for overseeing our corporate governance policies, reporting and making recommendations to our board of directors concerning governance matters and oversight of the evaluation of our board of directors.

The members of our nominating and corporate governance committee are Ms. Gillman, and Mr. Munro. Ms. Gillman serves as the chairperson of the committee. Mr. Sims served as a member of the committee until he assumed the role of interim Chief Executive Officer on May 2, 2018. The nominating and corporate governance committee met once during fiscal year 2017. Our board of directors has determined that all members of the nominating and corporate governance committee are independent under the applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq. The nominating and corporate governance committee operates under a written charter, which the nominating and corporate governance committee will review and evaluate at least annually.

Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

The audit committee oversees the company’s financial reporting process on behalf of our board of directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the audit committee reviewed the audited financial statements in the company’s annual report with management, including a discussion of any significant changes in the selection or application of accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements and the effect of any new accounting initiatives.

The audit committee reviewed with KPMG LLP, which is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the company’s audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, its judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the company’s accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the audit committee under generally accepted auditing standards and the matters listed in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 1301, Communications with Audit Committees. In addition, the audit committee has discussed with KPMG LLP, its independence from management and the company, has received from KPMG LLP the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding KPMG LLP’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and has considered the compatibility of non-audit services with the auditors’ independence.

The audit committee met with KPMG LLP to discuss the overall scope of its services, the results of its audit and reviews, and the overall quality of the company’s financial reporting. KPMG LLP, as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm, also periodically updates the audit committee about new accounting developments and their potential impact on the company’s reporting. The audit committee’s meetings with KPMG LLP were held with and without management present. The audit committee is not employed by the company, nor does it provide any expert assurance or professional certification regarding the company’s financial statements. The audit committee relies, without independent verification, on the accuracy and integrity of the information provided, and representations made, by management and the company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the audit committee has recommended to the company’s board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The audit committee and the company’s board of directors also have recommended, subject to stockholder approval, the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2018.

This report of the audit committee is not “soliciting material,” shall not be deemed “filed” with the SEC and shall not be incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this proxy statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any such filing, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such acts.

The foregoing report has been furnished by the audit committee.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Thomas A. Munro (chairperson), Francis X. Egan, Joan Gillman and James K. Sims served on our compensation committee during the 2017 fiscal year. With the exception of Mr. Sims, who assumed the role of interim Chief Executive Officer on May 2, 2018, none of the members of our compensation committee during the 2017 fiscal year has ever been one of our officers or employees. None of our executive officers currently serves, or has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our board of directors or compensation committee.

Director Nomination Process

Director Qualifications

Our nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for reviewing with the board of directors, on an annual basis, the appropriate characteristics, skills and experience required for the board of directors as a whole and its individual members. In evaluating the suitability of individual candidates (both new candidates and current members), the nominating and corporate governance committee, in recommending candidates for election, and the board of directors, in approving (and, in the case of vacancies, appointing) such candidates, will take into account many factors, including the following:

11

Table of Contents

Currently, our board of directors evaluates each individual in the context of the board of directors as a whole, with the objective of assembling a group that can best maximize the success of the business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience in these various areas.

Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although the nominating and corporate governance committee may also consider such other factors as it may deem to be in the best interests of our company and our stockholders. The nominating and corporate governance committee does, however, believe it appropriate for at least one, and preferably, several, members of our board of directors to meet the criteria for an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by SEC rules, and that a majority of the members of our board of directors meet the definition of “independent director” under Nasdaq qualification standards.

Identification and Evaluation of Nominees for Directors

The nominating and corporate governance committee identifies nominees for director by first evaluating the current members of our board of directors willing to continue in service. Current members with qualifications and skills that are consistent with the nominating and corporate governance committee’s criteria for board of director service and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination, balancing the value of continuity of service by existing members of our board of directors with that of obtaining a new perspective or expertise.

If any member of our board of directors does not wish to continue in service or if our board of directors decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election or if the board of directors decides to expand the size of the board, the nominating and corporate governance committee identifies the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria above. The nominating and corporate governance committee generally polls our board of directors and members of management for their recommendations. The nominating and corporate governance committee may also review the composition and qualification of the boards of directors of our competitors, and may seek input from industry experts or analysts. The nominating and corporate governance committee reviews the qualifications, experience and background of the candidates. Final candidates are interviewed by the members of the nominating and corporate governance committee and by certain of our other independent directors and executive management. In making its determinations, the nominating and corporate governance committee evaluates each individual in the context of our board of directors as a whole, with the objective of assembling a group that can best contribute to the success of our company and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound business judgment. After review and deliberation of all feedback and data, the nominating and corporate governance committee makes its recommendation to our board of directors. Historically, the nominating and corporate governance committee has not relied on third-party search firms to identify director candidates. The nominating and corporate governance may in the future choose to do so in those situations where particular qualifications are required or where existing contacts are not sufficient to identify an appropriate candidate.

The nominating and corporate governance committee evaluates nominees recommended by stockholders in the same manner as it evaluates other nominees. We have not received director candidate recommendations from our stockholders, and we do not have a formal policy regarding consideration of such recommendations. However, any recommendations received from stockholders will be evaluated in the same manner that potential nominees suggested by members of our board of directors, management or other parties are evaluated.

Under our amended and restated bylaws, a stockholder wishing to suggest a candidate for director should write to our corporate secretary and provide such information about the stockholder and the proposed candidate as is set forth in our amended and restated bylaws and as would be required by SEC rules to be included in a proxy statement. In addition, the stockholder must include the consent of the candidate and describe any arrangements or undertakings between the stockholder and the candidate regarding the nomination. In order to give the nominating and corporate governance committee sufficient time to evaluate a recommended candidate and include the candidate in our proxy statement for the 2018 annual meeting, the recommendation should be received by our corporate

secretary at our principal executive offices in accordance with our procedures detailed in the section below entitled “Stockholder Proposals.”

Director Attendance at Annual Meetings

Although we do not have a formal policy regarding attendance by members of our board of directors at our annual meeting, we encourage all of our directors to attend. Two members of our Board of Directors attended our annual meeting of stockholders in 2017.    

Communications with our Board of Directors

Stockholders seeking to communicate with our board of directors should submit their written comments to our corporate secretary, Airgain, Inc., 3611 Valley Centre Drive, Suite 150, San Diego, CA 92130. The corporate secretary will forward such communications to each member of our board of directors; provided that, if in the opinion of our corporate secretary it would be inappropriate to send a particular stockholder communication to a specific director, such communication will only be sent to the remaining directors (subject to the remaining directors concurring with such opinion).

Director Compensation

Our board of directors has approved a compensation policy for our non-employee directors. The non-employee director compensation policy provides for annual retainer fees and long-term equity awards for our non-employee directors. Pursuant to the terms of the non-employee director compensation policy, each non-employee director will receive an annual retainer of $30,000, with an additional $25,000 annual retainer payable to the chairman of the board of directors. Non-employee directors serving as the chairs of the audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees will receive additional annual retainers of $15,000, $10,000 and $7,500, respectively. Non-employee directors serving as members of the audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees will receive additional annual retainers of $7,500, $5,000 and $3,750, respectively.

Each non-employee director will also receive an initial grant of options to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock upon election to the board of directors, vesting in substantially equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. Until January 17, 2018, each non-employee director also received an annual grant of options to purchase 5,000 shares of our common stock, with the chairman of the board of directors receiving an additional option to purchase 2,500 shares of our common stock, vesting on the first to occur of the first anniversary of the date of grant or the next occurring annual meeting of our stockholders.

Effective January 17, 2018, the board of directors amended our non-employee director compensation policy to revise the annual equity awards to non-employee directors. Effective January 19, 2018, the board of directors awarded each non-employee director stock options to purchase 15,000 shares of our common stock (with Mr. Sims receiving stock options to purchase 20,000 shares of our common stock in recognition of his service as chairman of the board), which awards will vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant and were granted in lieu of the annual grants that would have been granted at the time of the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders under the non-employee director compensation policy in effect prior to January 17, 2018. Commencing in 2019, each non-employee director will receive an annual award on the first trading day in February of each year of a number of stock options having a

13

Table of Contents

value of $60,000 (with the award to the chairman of the board having a value of $90,000), calculated as of the date of grant in accordance with the Black-Scholes option pricing model (utilizing the same assumptions that we use in preparation of our financial statements and the 30-day trailing average trading price of our common stock preceding the date of grant), which annual awards will vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

Compensation under our non-employee director compensation policy is subject to the annual limits on non-employee director compensation set forth in our 2016 Incentive Award Plan, referred to herein as the 2016 Plan. Our board of directors or its authorized committee may modify the non-employee director compensation program from time to time in the exercise of its business judgment, taking into account such factors, circumstances and considerations as it shall deem relevant from time to time, subject to the annual limit on non-employee director compensation set forth in the 2016 Plan. As provided in the 2016 Plan, our board of directors or its authorized committee may make exceptions to this limit for individual non-employee directors in extraordinary circumstances, as the board of directors or its authorized committee may determine in its discretion, provided that the non-employee director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such compensation or in other compensation decisions involving non-employee directors.

Mr. Myers, who served as our Chief Executive Officer until May 2, 2018, received no compensation for his service as a director. The compensation received by Mr. Myers during 2017 as an employee is presented in “Executive Compensation—Summary Compensation Table.”

The following table sets forth information for the year ended December 31, 2017 regarding the compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to our non-employee directors who served on our board of directors during 2017.

On May 2, 2018, our board of directors appointed James K. Sims as our interim Chief Executive Officer.

On May 8, 2018, our board of directors, upon the recommendation of the compensation committee, approved the compensation arrangements for Mr. Sims in his role as interim Chief Executive Officer. In consideration of his service as interim Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Sims will receive a monthly retainer of $33,333.33, which equates to an annual retainer of $400,000. On May 8, 2018, Mr. Sims was also granted stock options to purchase 175,000 shares of our common stock, which will vest in equal quarterly installments over the two years following his commencement of service as interim Chief Executive Officer, subject to his continued service in that role or as a member of our board of directors on each vesting date. The stock options will also vest in full upon a change in control. Mr. Sims may also be awarded a discretionary bonus by our board of directors in connection with his service as interim Chief Executive Officer.

During his service as interim Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Sims will not be entitled to any additional fees or other compensation for serving as Chairman of the Board or as a member of our board of directors, including any fees or equity grants in accordance with our non-employee director compensation policy, although the equity awards previously granted to him in connection with his service as a member of our board of directors will continue to vest based on his service as interim Chief Executive Officer. Following his service as interim Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Sims will again be eligible to receive fees and equity grants in accordance with our non-employee director compensation policy.

The compensation payable to Mr. Sims and described above is solely for his services as interim Chief Executive Officer and not for his service as a non-employee member of our board of directors. Mr. Sims was not present for the deliberations or decision by our board of directors when it approved the foregoing compensation arrangements.

The table below shows the aggregate numbers of option awards outstanding held as of December 31, 2017 by each non-employee director who was serving as of December 31, 2017.

Vote Required; Recommendation of the Board of Directors

If a quorum is present and voting at the annual meeting, directors shall be elected by a plurality of votes cast, meaning that the two nominees receiving the highest number of shares voted “For” their election will be elected to our board of directors. Votes withheld from any nominee, abstention and broker non-votes will be counted only for purposes of determining a quorum and are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose. Broker non-votes will have no effect on this proposal as brokers or other nominees are not entitled to vote on such proposals in the absence of voting instructions from the beneficial owner.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF JOAN GILLMAN AND ARTHUR M. TOSCANINI. PROXIES SOLICITED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL BE SO VOTED UNLESS STOCKHOLDERS SPECIFY OTHERWISE ON THEIR PROXY CARDS.

PROPOSAL 2:

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The audit committee has selected KPMG LLP as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2018 and has further directed that management submit the selection of independent registered public accounting firm for ratification by the stockholders at the annual meeting. KPMG LLP has audited the company’s financial statements since 2012. Representatives of KPMG LLP are expected to be present at the annual meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Stockholder ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm is not required by Delaware law, the company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or the company’s amended and restated bylaws. However, the audit committee is submitting the selection of KPMG LLP to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the audit committee will reconsider whether to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the audit committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of different independent registered accounting firm at any time during the year if the audit committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the company and its stockholders.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm’s Fees

The following table represents aggregate fees billed to us for services related to the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, by KPMG LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm.

The audit committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independence of KPMG LLP, and has concluded that the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the independence of our auditors.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Our audit committee has established a policy that all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm will be pre-approved by the audit committee, and all such services

16

Table of Contents

were pre-approved in accordance with this policy during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. The audit committee considers whether the provision of each non-audit service is compatible with maintaining the independence of our auditors. Pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. Our independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to the audit committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date.

Vote Required; Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively on the proposal will be required to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP, meaning the number of shares voted “For” the proposal must exceed the number of shares voted “Against” the proposal. Abstentions will not be counted toward the tabulation of votes cast on this proposal and will have no effect on the proposal. The approval of Proposal 2 is a routine proposal on which a broker or other nominee has discretionary authority to vote. Accordingly, no broker non-votes will likely result from this proposal.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE TO RATIFY THE SELECTION OF KPMG LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2018. PROXIES SOLICITED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL BE SO VOTED UNLESS STOCKHOLDERS SPECIFY OTHERWISE ON THEIR PROXY CARDS.

The executives’ bonuses for 2017 were determined in the discretion of our board of directors based on its subjective assessment of both our corporate performance and their individual performance. Based on this assessment, our board of directors determined to award Mr. Myers a bonus of $250,000 for 2017, representing 63% of his base salary for 2017, determined to award Mr. Johnson a bonus of $125,000 for 2017, representing 42% of his base salary for 2017 and determined to award Mr. Suen a bonus of $195,000 for 2017, representing 63% of his base salary for 2017.

Equity Compensation

We primarily offer stock options to our named executive officers as the long-term incentive component of our compensation program. Our stock options allow employees to purchase shares of our common stock at a price per share equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant and may or may not be intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In the past, our board of directors has determined the fair market value of our common stock based upon inputs including valuation reports prepared by third-party valuation firms from time to time. Generally, the stock options we grant vest over four years, subject to the employee’s continued employment with us on the vesting date. We also, when appropriate, grant restricted stock to our executives.

Our board of directors has adopted, and our stockholders have approved, the 2016 Plan, in order to facilitate the grant of cash and equity incentives to directors, employees (including our named executive officers) and consultants of our company and certain of its affiliates and to enable our company and certain of its affiliates to obtain and retain services of these individuals, which is essential to our long-term success.

In April 2017, each of Mr. Myers, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Suen received stock option awards to purchase 100,000 shares, 25,000 shares and 25,000 shares, respectively. The options were granted with an exercise price per share equal to the closing stock price on the grant date. The options have a term of ten years from the date of grant. The stock options vest over four years, with 25% of the shares subject to the option vesting on the first anniversary of the date of grant and the remainder vesting in equal monthly installments over a period of three years thereafter, subject to his continued employment with us on each vesting date. The options granted to Mr. Myers were eligible to vest on an accelerated basis in the event of a change in control (as defined in his employment agreement), or in the event of Mr. Myers’ termination of employment by us without cause (as defined in his employment agreement), his resignation for good reason (as defined in his employment agreement), his death or his termination of employment by reason of his disability (as defined in his employment agreement). Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, all of Mr. Myers’ stock options vested upon his termination of employment as described above under “Separation Arrangement with Mr. Myers.”

The options granted to Messrs. Johnson and Suen will vest on an accelerated basis in the event of the employee’s termination of employment by us without cause (as defined in his employment agreement) or his resignation for good reason (as defined in his employment agreement), in each case following a change in control.

Stock awards granted to our named executive officers may be subject to accelerated vesting in certain circumstances. For additional discussion, see “-Change in Control Benefits” below and “Outstanding Equity Awards at the End of 2017” below.

Other Elements of Compensation

Retirement Plans

We currently maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan that allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation, within limits prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code, or the Code, on a pre-tax basis through contributions to the plan. Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan. We may make discretionary matching contributions under the 401(k) plan, but we have not done so to date. We believe that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings through our 401(k) plan adds to the overall desirability of our executive compensation package and further incentivizes our named executive officers in accordance with our compensation policies.

Employee Benefits and Perquisites

Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in our health and welfare plans. In addition, pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Myers was entitled to receive the following additional benefits with an aggregate annual cost not to exceed $20,000: (1) annual executive medical program; (2) health club dues/personal trainer; and

25

Table of Contents

(3) reimbursement of monthly vehicle payment, plus the costs of maintenance and operation of such vehicle. We do not provide our named executive officers with any other perquisites or other personal benefits.

Change in Control Benefits

Our named executive officers may become entitled to certain benefits or enhanced benefits in connection with a change in control of our company. Each of our named executive officers’ employment agreements entitles them to accelerated vesting of all outstanding equity awards, as well as certain other benefits, upon a change in control of our company. For additional discussion, please see “—Employment Agreements” above.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

We describe below the transactions and series of similar transactions, since January 1, 2017, to which we were a party or will be a party, in which:

Investors’ Rights Agreement

We entered into a fourth amended and restated investors’ rights agreement in May 2008 with the holders of our preferred stock, including entities with which certain of our directors are affiliated. This agreement provides for certain registration rights that will terminate three years following the closing of our initial public offering, or August 17, 2019, or for any particular holder with registration rights, at such time following this offering when such holder may sell all of such shares pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act.

Director and Executive Officer Compensation

Please see “Proposal 1—Director Compensation” for additional information regarding compensation of our directors. Please see “Executive Compensation and Other Information” for additional information regarding compensation of our executive officers.

Employment Agreements

We have entered into employment agreements with our executive officers. For more information regarding these agreements, see “Executive Compensation and Other Information—Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table—Employment Agreements.”

Indemnification

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws provide that we will indemnify each of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Further, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers, and we have purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under certain circumstances.

Stock Option Grants to Executive Officers and Directors

We have granted stock options to our executive officers and certain of our directors as more fully described in the section entitled “Executive Compensation and Other Information” and “Proposal 1—Director Compensation.”

Policies and Procedures Regarding Related Party Transactions

Our board of directors has adopted a written related person transaction policy setting forth the policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related-person transactions. This policy covers, with certain exceptions set forth in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships in which we were or are to be a participant, where the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and a related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, including, without limitation, purchases of goods or services by or from the related person or

entities in which the related person has a material interest, indebtedness, guarantees of indebtedness and employment by us of a related person. In reviewing and approving any such transactions, our audit committee is tasked to consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to, whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in an arm’s length transaction and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction. All of the transactions described in this section occurred prior to the adoption of this policy.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of 10% or more of our common stock, or reporting persons, are required to report to the SEC on a timely basis the initiation of their status as a reporting person and any changes with respect to their beneficial ownership of our common stock. Based solely on our review of copies of such forms that we have received, or written representations from reporting persons, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, all executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders complied with all applicable filing requirements, other than a late Form 4 filed on April 6, 2017 by Arthur Toscanini and a late Form 4 filed on December 22, 2017 by each of GEN3 Capital Partners, LLC, GEN3 Capital I, LP, Gen 3 Partners, Inc., James K. Sims and Arthur Toscanini.    

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

Proposals of stockholders intended to be presented at our annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2019 must be received by us no later than January 14, 2019, which is 120 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the mailing date of the proxy statement for the 2018 annual meeting, in order to be included in our proxy statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting, unless the date of the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders is changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary of our 2018 annual meeting, in which case the deadline for such proposals will be a reasonable time before we begin to print and send our proxy materials. These proposals must comply with the requirements as to form and substance established by the SEC for such proposals in order to be included in the proxy statement.

In addition, our amended and restated bylaws establish an advance notice procedure with regard to certain matters, including stockholder proposals and nominations not included in our proxy statement, to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders. In general, notice meets the requirements in our amended and restated bylaws and must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 calendar days before nor more than 120 calendar days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting. Therefore, to be presented at our 2019 annual meeting of stockholders, such a proposal must be received by us no earlier than February 20, 2019 and no later than March 22, 2019. However, if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice must be received not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the 90th calendar day prior to such annual meeting and the close of business on the tenth calendar day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made. If the stockholder fails to give notice by these dates, then the persons named as proxies in the proxies solicited by the board of directors for the 2019 annual meeting may exercise discretionary voting power regarding any such proposal. Stockholders are advised to review our amended and restated bylaws which also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice.

ANNUAL REPORT

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 will be mailed to stockholders of record on or about May 14, 2018. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K does not constitute, and should not be considered, a part of this proxy solicitation material.

Any person who was a beneficial owner of our common stock on the record date may request a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, and it will be furnished without charge upon receipt of a written request identifying the person so requesting a report as a stockholder of our company at such date. Requests should be directed to Airgain, Inc., 3611 Valley Centre Drive, Suite 150, San Diego, CA 92130, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

STOCKHOLDERS SHARING THE SAME ADDRESS

The rules promulgated by the SEC permit companies, brokers, banks or other intermediaries to deliver a single copy of a proxy statement and annual report to households at which two or more stockholders reside. This practice, known as “householding,” is designed to reduce duplicate mailings and save significant printing and postage costs as well as natural resources. Stockholders sharing an address who have been previously notified by their broker, bank or other intermediary and have consented to householding will receive only one copy of our proxy statement and annual report. If you would like to opt out of this practice for future mailings and receive separate proxy statements and annual reports for each stockholder sharing the same address, please contact your broker, bank or other intermediary. You may also obtain a separate proxy statement or annual report without charge by sending a written request to Airgain, Inc., 3611 Valley Centre Drive, Suite 150, San Diego, CA 92130, Attention: Corporate Secretary or by calling (760) 579-0200. We will promptly send additional copies of the proxy statement or annual report upon receipt of such request. Stockholders sharing an address that are receiving multiple copies of the proxy statement or annual report can request delivery of a single copy of the proxy statement or annual report by contacting their broker, bank or other intermediary or sending a written request to Airgain, Inc. at the address above or by calling (760) 579-0200.

OTHER MATTERS

We do not know of any business other than that described in this proxy statement that will be presented for consideration or action by the stockholders at the annual meeting. If, however, any other business is properly brought before the meeting, shares represented by proxies will be voted in accordance with the best judgment of the persons named in the proxies or their substitutes. All stockholders are urged to complete, sign and return the accompanying proxy card in the enclosed envelope.
